Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone withdrawal remedies

suboxone

Avatar m tn It seems you jumped off at a bit of a high dose, even for Suboxone. I know the withdrawal stinks but in a few days you will begin to feel better and you can put this all behind you. You have come this far and I would hate to see you take any other addictive drugs at this point. Let us know how you are feeling and we can recommend some at home type remedies to help ease the process.
Avatar m tn I've been on suboxone a lil over 2years. I was addicted to Laura tabs and opanas for about a year and a half. I wanted to try and get clean but the withdrawals was too much seeing I worked 40+ hours around the clock so my buddy hooked me up with a couple of subs saying they would help me get off opiates which they did but I slowly started to get addicted to the suboxone. Next thing I know I'm buying them every week off the street.
1800740 tn?1324237171 My suboxone doctor has me on a fairly slow taper. I am at 2 mgs now and he wants me to jump off completely around Christmas. Since I was on a low dose of methadone (30 mgs. per day) before I went to suboxone, he seems to think it will be quite easy for me. In December, I will have been on suboxone for a year. Meanwhile, I'm reading horror stories about suboxone withdrawal. Do you think I will have an easy time during wds?
Avatar m tn I felt fine the whole time while on suboxone (2 weeks) but a day or two after i came off of them i started feeling the oxycodone withdrawal again. My question is does suboxone just mask the withdrawals or do they actually eliminate them? I know im not having withdrawals from the suboxone because a year prior to this i tried it with one 8mg strip that lasted me 8 days and the same thing happened. Please help.
Avatar n tn How long after my last vicodin should i take suboxone?..its been 14 hrs. since my last one..
Avatar f tn I was on suboxone for nearly 4 years and tried doing what you suggesting and quit off 2mg. The withdrawal was pure he!! just from 2 mg. Suboxone is very strong and has a half life of 37 hours, so the withdrawal is much longer and drawn out. I personally could not even taper and ended up going through an 8 day medical detox that was quite expensive, but to me it was worth every cent. Please taper down to below 1mg, it's best to quit suboxone at around .5mg for minimal withdrawal.
Avatar f tn Please talk here and ask the members what we have done in the way of natural remedies to get off of ALL pills. And other remedies we can suggest. Best of luck and I hope you stick around.
Avatar m tn On day 6 of suboxone withdrawal. Did my research and got Clonidine, St. John's Wart, Same 400mg, Passionflower, Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin B 6, Immodium. I am able to function but I cant stop the "crawling out of my skin condition". Try to laugh, pray, exercise, sauna, eat 3 meals, I don't know how much longer I can take it. "Suck it up" is starting to lose its meaning with time. Been on subs for more than a few years. Lost count.

Avatar m tn just will not tell you (unlike Suboxone) that will help me get through the withdrawal side effects of taking 200mg/day or more of Oxycontin for over a year now? Trust me I have tried alot including Suboxone and tapering, nothing really works. Even rehab, made it through but then right back on after a month.
Avatar m tn Read the Suboxone/Subutex FAQ's at the bottom of this Substance Abuse Community page. You can follow that until you get to 2mg. You are at a high dose and depending on how long you've used subs, you may want to stabilize there and do the rest of that taper at a slower rate. You will have to form your own schedule, as we cannot give schedules on this forum. Just remember that each dose lasts about 21 days and it accumulates over time.
Avatar f tn But for right now, to deal with your withdrawal symptoms, see if your doctor can write you a prescription for some Requip for restlessness, Neurontin for anxiety and malaise, some Flexeril or Soma for a few weeks for muscle spasms and maybe some Seroquel low dose, for sleep, Clonidine helps with the creepy-crawly feeling and helps stabilize the blood pressure. All of these medications will make your life easier during this time.
Avatar n tn I recently made the decision to stop using opiates and tapered myself off using some suboxone I had left over from an old prescription. I've never really gone this long without using AT ALL throughout the entire process, it's been about 2 weeks and I'm still feeling uncomfortable. Are there any at home remedies that will take the edge off a little bit? I've heard vitamins B and C, warm baths, bengay and heating pads, but is there anything else you guys recommend?
Avatar f tn I am currently on Suboxone 24 mg a day. I have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and the suboxe does not help with pain. I am in so much pain that I can't bare to add withdrawls to the equation. Is there. Anyway to detox fast? Even if I was admitted to Hosp for evaul is there a med that will bring me off sub without weeks of wd's?
Avatar m tn While the people here are able to provide remedies to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and provide encouragement during detox - none of us are doctors and cannot establish a taper plan for anyone. As you have seen, this forum is a reflection of personal opinion I am surprised to see that you have been a member since 2007 considering that you said questions are not answered here and you ...
Avatar f tn Unfortunately my suboxone withdrawal is worse than the oxy withdrawal I would have gone through. RLS, achy, etc. All the normal withdrawal symptoms. I have not had RLS in the past and I will give you a tiny bit of GOOD news - the RLS has definitely stopped. My last sub was 9 days ago. The worst days with the RLS were day 5 and 6, but I am good now. Still in withdrawal, but that symptom has subsided. Hot showers are a lifesaver. Also try putting a heating blanked across your legs.
Avatar f tn I am also aware of the many research studies that demonstrate less-severe withdrawal from Suboxone compared to withdrawal from agonists in 'blinded' research trials. Finally, a number of treatment centers use Suboxone as a 'tapering agent' to help people get through opiate withdrawal. Again, I talk in greater detail on the blog, but one final comment: the withdrawal is unusual in several aspects from what people usually expect.
Avatar f tn I would be reluctant to go off any opiate while on interferon therapy; the risk of depression from the interferon is quite high, and the opiate withdrawal could precipitate a very serious depression that requires stopping treatment for the hep C. There are a number of reasons people have trouble stopping Suboxone; the biggest reason is because it is hard to stop ANY opiate, including Suboxone.
464957 tn?1207007336 t have a doctor, so im on the suboxone only because my boyfriend has the prescription..we are both addicts..and i dont want to take the subs any longer than i have to. i first tried subutex and had HORRIBLE w/d's.. i thought to myself, why even try to quit when the medicine thats supposed to get rid of the withdrawls, GIVES me withdrawls as well!!?? its a nasty feeling when i cant get up to hold my daughter, she is soooooo active.. i am trying to taper off as best i can.
Avatar f tn I can tell you that you can and will have withdrawal from suboxone for a 2 week program. It is very important that you create a good taper schedule to get off. I would recommend only using it for 7 days and decreasing your dose after the 3rd day. Suboxone is a very very strong drug with an extremely long half-life. In order to jump sucessfully off of suboxone I would get yourself down to at least .5mg. You may even want to go to .5mg every other day.
Avatar f tn Hey, have been dependant on methadone/ suboxone /subutex /methadone for 13 years. I returned to methadone as was best option during pregnancy.(fortunately baby had no withdrawal symptoms). Haven't used heroin for about 5 years but so scared of withdrawal, thought i would be on one of the above for life. Baby now 19mths & have been withdrawing slowly so can still fulfill parental (single). I am currently on 4mg and have conflicting info regarding what to do next.
Avatar f tn i am a reasonably healthy 46yo female & spent 18 years on methadone before being involuntarily withdrawn from 75mg methadone over an 8 week period. Last 20mg I came off at 1mg per day. I am now taking (not prescribed) 5-20mg methadone per day as I couldn't cope with some withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone is not available to me in New Zealand & my GP prescribed zopiclone 7.5mg for sleep.
Avatar m tn How long were you on boxs? I've been in the clinic for 2 weeks and doing one a day. Will I detox?
Avatar n tn The idea is the patch keeps you from feeling the effects of the suboxone withdrawal. My Doctor said it takes on average three months for suboxone to leave the blood stream. In my case it took longer. I've been off suboxone since may 2008, and off fentanyl since august 2008. I'm still a wreck, fatigue, loose stoole, depression, anxiety, insomnia, constant sneezing, stuffy nose, watery eyes, etc....I've been off of everything for one month, and things got worse before they got better.
